I'm sorry to hassle you with this but i needs LOTS of help. I need the VSS and reverse wire for a 2003 Mercedes Benz E55 AMG. Also where are they located, specifically? Also, a terminal that is always supplied with power?
Could I do this right of the mercedes wiring harness on my command unit? my stereo is the harmon logic without the navigation.

I am using a AVIC Z1... The reason I ask is cause i heard there are only two spots where u can hit a 12V power source the rest are like 5V or something..

hehe jimmy actually i have everything installed and everything works great except for the VSS wire now.. thats all I need... The fiber optic cable goes to the speakers amps in the trunk.. from this location WIRES WIRES WIRES run to the speakers... all u have to do is clip those wires and run them to your headunit.. works great!!!

I'm sooooo sick of people thinking a mercedes is impossible to install a head unit on when its actually pretty simple, especially using factory speakers... where there is will there is always a way!

All i need is the VSS wire and we will be set folks please please please help me find it, although the GPS is working good without it...

Make sure you use some kind of crossovers on the midrange and tweeters, if there isn't one there, I can't remember from my CLK from a while back. The VSS that keeps coming up in all my databases is a green with a black stripe @ the radio harness, but try checking at the amp, also.

I was told no need for a crossover? is there a reason why I need a cross over? the wires are directly wired to the amp and then fed fiber optically through the head unit so maybe the crossover is an inline one?

The cross overs are built into the outputs of the factory amp. Eventually without outboard crossovers your speakers are going to go because they're being fed signals they can't properly handle. Ie highs going to a midbass driver or lows going to a tweeter.
